Thank you Alex!

Such a timely article. Thank you.

Yay for you! On your way!

Just make sure someting has not happened in her world that is bothering her more than you are aware of. It may be general depression, etc. I find it easy to attach my weight loss to people "acting differently" or "treating me differently". Sometime it IS, to be sure. Many more it is not. For instance, I don't want to socialize anymore over long courses of food in a restaraunt. Therefore I do not hang out with people that I spent years sharing quite a bit with. Due to that, they are often out of the loop of something bothering me, etc... Either way I am sorry over your hurt feelings. I hope you feel better soon!

I went into remission fro type 2 diabeties in March 2012. never doubt your choice for the surgery!

Is it hot? has it begun to drain? Change color? Mine hurt for awhile on that side, and it would come and go a bit...I think mine was from where that is the larget hole they make, it is where the stomach is removed from, and also they tacked my stitch up a bit high.

I have burps, psuedo burps, gurgles...sleeved 1/4/12

It feels so good, doesnt it! I have been pronounced free of it for almost 4 months now.

Wow. Just. Wow.

I feel Unjury so far has been best in terms of still liking it over a period of time...unflavored is very useful.

I will, for the first time in almost 20 years, step into an arena to demonstrate swordfighting for my group "Dagorhir". It will be at Space City Con in less than two weeks. I. am. so. scared. I still can't see myself as a size 14-12. I am working on this really great costume, leather fighting corset, and the whole nine, and I put it on and I FEEL like it doesn't fit...I don't understand this, and so far no one has really been able to help me with it. I am in the process of cutting the costume DOWN, because I can see it has become too big, even recently, but I FEEL like I have somehow fit a size 20 or so into this 32" corset I want to represent my group and myself well, but I literally get anxious trying on clothes and such, and the dressing up is freaking me out - but I have comitted myself and alot of people are looking forward to seeing me, and I am needed to help out. Any suggestions? I can't shake this - I dream that I am walking around like a T with both arms out because I have squeezed all this fat into this costume - but I kow that is not so. I can see there are no buldges, no "squeeze" effect - not a tight lace or button, except for the corset, and that isnt much - just enough to protect my tummy (and boobs)... phew! This was not what I thought would be my issue....

We all hit a wall. I had nto exactly made the decision yet, but knowing I had a tumor and knowing I may have partially caused that with the abdominal fat - plus diabetes, PLUS they couldnt even "see" the tumor till I lost some weight...it was enough. Good luck to you in your journey.

I understand the clothes thing...I am beginning to fall otu of my clothing. I have exactly 5 items I have bought for myself that are my size now, that are not tshirts. I literally wear my co workers hand me downs...

Have they kept up with your blood sugar levels with the steroids? Have they checked for an pre-embolism or swelling due to stretching or tearing? have you had another esop? Are you allergic to anything? are you retaining noticeable amounts of Water and also, keep using your breathing gadget they gave you, and if you are coughing from your lungs, bring it to their attention ASAP... Sorry for what you are experiencing. it gets better. Good luck, God bless, and green energy headed your way!
